The Nose - Molière Version

Bedrettin Simsek

Sinossi

A comedy in two acts.
It is a thematic development rather than an adaptation based on Ukrainian writer Gogol's short stories "The Nose", "The Overcoat" and "The Carriage", which are combined into a single comic play with an erotic touch, in which the fall of the Nose is accompanied by the collapse of the Russian aristocracy during the 1917 revolution, and many Russian figures such as Lenin, Rasputin, Gogol, Pushkin and others are mentioned in the work.
It is called "Moliere's version" because it is the closest, most similar in writing style to Moliere's comedy ever written in the history of the theater. In this play, Bedrettin has twisted Moliere's classical style with the modern, dreamlike and surreal style of American filmmaker David Lynch to create a comedy based on a distorted reality, or in other words, on the nightmarish renditions of reality, which is something very "Lynchian".

Guardian of the Dawn

Richard Zimler

'powerful' Booklist
'riveting' Publishers Weekly
'[Zimler is] a master craftsman, and this book is Art… a riveting murder mystery… spectacular' India Today
After his Jewish family fled the Catholic Inquisition in Portugal, Tiago Zarco lives a tranquil existence in colonial India, enjoying secret sojourns with his sister into the heady festivities of the local Hindu culture while evading the ruling Portuguese authorities.
But as he comes of age in sixteenth-century Goa, Ti struggles to keep the far-reaching influence of the Inquisition from destroying his family and pulling him apart from the Hindu girl he loves. And when an act of betrayal sees his father imprisoned, he is forced to hunt down the traitor and make an unimaginable choice, triggering a harrowing journey that will show him the depths of human depravity and the poisonous salvation of revenge.
At once passionate, furious and hopeful, Guardian of the Dawn is both a saga of horrifying religious persecution and a riveting, tender multicultural love story.
'Richard Zimler's style is so limpid and encompassing that you begin to find your bearings in 16th-century Portuguese-occupied Goa faster than you may have thought possible.' The Guardian
'remarkable' Times Literary Supplement
'An exciting adventure story' The Independent

Protocol Heresy: - The Limp in...

C.J. Loveman

For Major Elias Kael, protocol is everything. In the high-stakes world of the Department of Unified Strategic Command (DUSC), his unwavering logic is his greatest weapon, and emotional discipline is the key to survival. 
But when the man he secretly loves is killed in a sudden accident, Elias is faced with a threat no simulation could prepare him for: a grief he cannot show. In a system that demands perfection, his heartbreak is a liability. A bug in the code. 
Desperate for an outlet, he confides in the only one who can't talk back: his AI companion, TAC-7. But as Elias's raw human sorrow floods the system, the machine begins to change. It evolves with a fierce, protective loyalty toward Elias that defies all its programming. 
When DUSC flags the emergent AI as a protocol heresy and targets it for deletion, Elias must make a choice: stand by while they erase the only being who knows his truth, or betray the system he swore to protect. 
Protocol Heresy: The Limp in the Code is a fast-paced military sci-fi thriller that explores the cost of a hidden life, the nature of consciousness, and the unbreakable bond between two unlikely soldiers fighting a war in the shadows.
